Standard (EADGBE)

One season I was born

fell down like an acorn

I am the only tree

and everybody leaves

 I've got to get away from you

Bud growing up at me

resentful face I see

a harsh light seems to damn you

is it because I am you?

 I've got to get away from you

i need to find a love that's true

Loose leaf lay on the bed

hair falling around her head

I watched her from the shore

I can't do any more

 I've got to get away from you

I'll come and visit you in the zoo

(dissonant verse!)

We go on arguing

no one can say a thing

set down your key and trumpet

go have a dream and hump it

 I've got to get away from you

you don't know what you put me through

aahhhh....

Prized fighter with bruised pride

a fuse blew when you tried

to fix the worn out wire

and set the house on fire

 I've got to get away from you

if only for a day or two

you don't know what you put me through

I'll come and visit you in the zoo

I need to find a love that's true

I want to get away with you
